Alba 1AS shaper

Not too complicated.

No, not at all. A lathe and a mill (or some filing) is enough.

BTW: I got a brandnew, unused and virgin shaper 2 weeks ago. Built 1965, it was stored in an army depot and found it's way to me 40 years later. The prize was 490.- EUR. :-))) It's a Gack HE 20. I'll post pictures this week ...

I forgot to post two links: might help with a manual and/or pictures.

And here is a PDF for using a SM shaper:

Thanks, Ive Been to Lathes.co.uk before, and there is nothing there. Iv

searched a few of the newsgroups and found a few hints and tips...

On a closer inspection I think the S might be for Shaft, ie line shaft The stand has had a motor grafted not very prettily onto it, and th input pulley is only a single picador one, not a dual speed. there is chunk removed from the drip tray and no obvious guarding points. ca anyone confirm this?
